Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

And Ruo Ye Mu, as expected, stayed here, watering the cucumbers she had planted with her own hands.

Nagasaki Suyo walked behind her, watched quietly for a while, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Mu, your cucumbers are growing well, and they feel ripe."

Wakaba Mutsu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Nagasaki Suyo to suddenly come over and say hello to him.

"Well, they can be picked in a few days."

Ruoye Mu responded in a low voice, then turned his head away, "...Do you want it?"

"Is that okay? Thank you so much."

Su Shi blinked and smiled gently, "It's a happy thing to be able to eat the vegetables that Xiao Mu planted himself."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Shi pretended to be casual and asked, "Xiao Mu, do you know where Xiangzi goes after school now?"

Ruoye Mu paused in watering, tightened his fingers around the handle of the pot, then lowered his head without saying a word.

Sure enough, she came to see him not for the cucumber, but for Xiangzi.

Ruoye Mu often exchanges information with Xiangzi and knows that Xiangzi has signed a contract with an agency, but she has never told Su Shi because Xiangzi asked her to keep it secret.

She has kept it secret for so long, so naturally she won't tell it now.

Seeing her silence, Su Shi smiled lightly, and his tone became softer: "Xiao Mu, you don't have to hide it from me. Actually, Xiangzi is in Xingchuan Office now, right?"

Ruoye Mu suddenly looked up, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

But Su Shi seemed not to care at all, and his smile deepened a little.

"Maybe Xiangzi didn't tell you, but actually... I'm also in that office now."

She paused, as if speaking casually, yet also as if deliberately, "Besides, the two of us are now members of the same band."

"Eh……?"

At that moment, even Wakaba Mu, who usually did not show any emotions, showed an obviously dazed expression.

Su Shi and Xiangzi formed a band?

When did this happen? Why didn't Xiangzi mention it?

"Xiao Mu, are you surprised?"

Su Shi smiled gently but with a hint of pride, "Actually, the misunderstanding between us has been resolved, and we get along pretty well now... Xiangzi didn't say anything because he didn't know how to explain it to you."

Xiangzi did not tell Ruoye Mu about this matter, not because they had a bad relationship, but because he felt it was unnecessary.

After all, Su Shi was not her official teammate, but just an assistant.

At this time, Su Shi took advantage of this information gap and mistakenly made Xiao Mu believe that she and Xiangzi had reconciled.

It’s not really a lie. After all, Xiangzi ate the donuts she bought, so how could it not be considered a reconciliation?

Ruoye Mu stared at the cucumber leaves for a while before asking in a low voice: "...Then why did you come to see me?"

"I actually want to ask you, Xiao Mu, do you want to be with us?"

"……rise?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Shi smiled and nodded, "Do you want to reunite with us and form a band again? Back then, Xiao Mu, you said you never felt happy about forming a band. That was actually a lie, right?"

"I think Xiaomu, you miss the time we spent together just like I do. Now, we have a chance to reunite, right? You, me, Lixi, and Deng... the few of us can form a band again."

Su Shi cleverly ignored Xiangzi's name in this passage, but Ruoye Mu had subconsciously included Xiangzi in it.

Su Shi's words were like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples.

Ruoye Mu was also a little moved, but she moved her lips slightly and did not answer immediately.

Su Shi didn't mind. She smiled and said, "I know this is a bit sudden. Xiao Mu is not ready yet, right? But it doesn't matter. Xiao Mu, you can think about it carefully and give me an answer."

Her voice was soft and rhythmic, like she was telling a bedtime story, or like she was slowly setting some kind of psychological trap.

Wakaba Mu's grip on the kettle tightened unconsciously.

She has never been good at expressing herself, nor does she like being led by others, but at this moment, a strange wave is faintly rising in the depths of her heart.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Su Shi straightened her skirt.

"Well, Xiao Mu, if you have this idea in the future, I will definitely come to you."

After saying that, she gave Wakaba Mu an elegant smile, turned and walked into the vine-covered archway.

The sunlight fell on her back, drawing a warm golden thread, leaving Ruo Yemu standing there alone, looking at her receding back, his heart beating inexplicably faster.

Reuniting the band...

And she was with Xiangzi, Sushi and the others...

Suddenly, Ruoye Mu opened his eyes wide and an anxious expression appeared on his face.

"No, Xiao Mu, don't form a band anymore!"

Her voice boomed low in the garden, like a hoarse soliloquy, or perhaps a suppressed scream, "Those people are all stress monsters. Staying with them will definitely get you hurt again!"

But the next second, she suddenly became quiet again and muttered to herself in a low voice.

"But... I really want to be with Xiangzi. I want to see her smile... I'm tired of living alone..."

Before she finished speaking, her expression changed again, and she said angrily: "Even if you want to be with Xiangzi, don't listen to Su Shi's words. Be careful that she is using you again! Have you forgotten that every time she came to you, she was asking for your help. She never helped you or cared about you!"

"But since she came to me, it means she needs me. Maybe Xiangzi needs me too..."

If Ye Mu's expression changed from time to time, as if her left and right brain were fighting each other, it would be because there was no one else in the garden at that moment, otherwise people would really be scared and think she had a mental problem.

No... not necessarily. It's also possible that people would think she was practicing her acting skills.

After all, she is the daughter of the famous actress Minami Mori.

Ruoye Mu performed a one-man show for a long time. Finally, the sharp voice fell silent, and only she was left with her usual cold expression.

She whispered: "I would rather get hurt than give it a try. If Su Shi really comes to me... then I will agree to her."

……

Nagasaki Suyo has not yet asked about Lenna's willingness, but this does not prevent her from extending an olive branch to Wakaba Mutsu in advance.

It's common for a band to have two guitarists anyway. If both agree, Xiaomu can replace Aiyin and form a new "Mygo"

Su Shi knew clearly that Aine no longer wanted to come back here. She was doing well as a lead singer over there and there was no way she would come back to be an unnoticed rhythm guitarist.

In this case, it would be better to find someone to replace Aine as soon as possible and completely put an end to Takamatsu Deng's thoughts.

Su Shi certainly has his own little calculations, but in this already shattered relationship, who doesn't have some selfish motives?

Deng insisted on doing so for Aine, Lixi stayed in the band for Deng, Sushi wanted to reconcile with Xiangzi, and Xiaomu also hoped to spend more time with Xiangzi.

But as for Lenai... no one knows what she really wants, and no one knows why she joined this band in the first place.

It's like a wild cat that joins in when it feels like it's interesting, and leaves when it feels like it's boring.

It is still unknown whether she is willing to return to the band, but in Su Shi's opinion, there is a high possibility that Lenai will refuse.

That's why I contacted Xiao Mu in advance.

After school today, Su Shi came to Xingchuan Office as usual, and quietly handled what she was supposed to do like a competent assistant.

After working for about an hour, Shiina Riki sent her a message, telling her about Kaname Rakuna's situation.

I asked my senior, Rinrinko, and she said that after the band disbanded, Kaname Rinai hadn't joined any other bands, but she always brought her guitar to RING for solo performances.

She's not here today, but she might come tomorrow. Sushi, what are you going to do?

Su Shi stared at the screen for a while, tapped it lightly with her fingertips, and replied: [I will go to RING with you tomorrow.]

After sending the message, she quietly put away her phone and continued to help the band in front of her tune the music and record these matters.

At the end of today's rehearsal, she looked up and said to the crowd with an apologetic look: "Everyone, I have some personal matters tomorrow and need to take a day off."

"Of course it's no problem!"

Taoxiang smiled cheerfully, "Just do whatever you need to do, don't worry about us."

Rencai said with a bit of regret: "If Miss Sushi wasn't here, we would have to do all the preparations, and there would be no free dessert..."

An Hesuba rolled his eyes at her. "You're talking as if the firm doesn't provide you with afternoon tea! Don't they have free coffee and snacks in the tea room?"

"But I don't like coffee. It tastes weird. I still like milk tea—strawberry flavor is the best. Donuts are delicious too!"

Today, Su Shi still carried out his "feeding" work and bought desserts for everyone. Xiangzi continued to accept them reluctantly.

“I think the coffee is delicious.”

Hachiman Kailing also interrupted, looking quite serious. "Especially the protein/powder coffee that the manager specially made. It suits my taste very well. It's much better than what I usually drink, and the effect seems to be very good too... I want to ask the manager to buy some more for me to take home."

"Hey? Hailing, do you usually drink protein/powder? Are you working out?"

Renai asked curiously.

"Well, I'm very strong and can carry very heavy things with one hand."

Seeing that the topic suddenly went off track, Su Shi smiled helplessly, then looked at Xiangzi.

Xiangzi never participated in this conversation, but her eyes were always on Su Shi intentionally or unintentionally.

Noticing Su Shi's gaze, Xiangzi thought for a moment and said directly to Su Shi: "Su Shi, I have something to talk to you about. Come out with me."

This statement surprised everyone present.

Because when practicing, Shoko Toyokawa always avoided communicating with Nagasaki Suyo, and even avoided eye contact.

And now she actually wants to communicate with Su Shi alone... What happened?

Xiangzi went out first without any explanation. After a little thought, Su Shi followed closely behind him. The two of them walked through the corridor and came to the small balcony on this floor.

Xiangzi suddenly turned around and stared at Su Shi with eyes so sharp that they could almost pierce through people's hearts.

"Sushi, why did you tell Xiaomu that you and I are in the same band?"

Xiangzi said coldly, "I'm clearly not on your team, yet you're lying to Xiaomu. Do you know how much effort I put into explaining this to Xiaomu?"

Chapter 280: Hakimi ran away after eating parfait.

Su Shi didn't expect that Xiangzi called her out alone because Xiao Mu told Xiangzi about their conversation.

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing, and he whispered with a hint of surprise: "Xiao Mu... has he already looked for you?"

Xiangzi's expression did not change, but he gave her confirmation.

Su Shi lowered his eyes, his mind racing.

She always thought that Xiaomu was just passively waiting for news, but she didn't expect that she would take the initiative to find Xiangzi.

This shows that their relationship is closer than she imagined, and they are even still in frequent contact privately.

In other words, Xiao Mu's repeated statements to her that "I can't find Xiangzi" and "I can't contact Xiangzi" were all lies - and there was no doubt that Xiangzi condoned these.

In just a few seconds, Su Shi quickly sorted out all the logic in his mind.

She raised her head and her signature gentle and somewhat innocent smile returned to her face.

"I'm not wrong."

Her voice was gentle, yet cleverly ambiguous. "Even though I'm an assistant, I'm still considered a thornless member. I can be considered a bandmate, right?"

Xiangzi snorted coldly: "Su Shi, I don't want to argue with you here. No matter what you want to do, don't involve Xiao Mu. She is not a tool you can use!"

"tool?"

Su Shi laughed and shook his head, "How could that be? I have always regarded Xiao Mu as an important partner."

Her tone rose slightly, and she spoke slowly, "I sincerely invite Xiaomu to join our soon-to-be-reformed [Mygo]. If she's willing to join, Xiangzi, you're simply trying to stop her. Aren't you actually denying her wishes?"

"You're not Xiaomu's mother, and you can't make every decision for her, right?"

Xiangzi was speechless for a moment because of Su Shi's criticism.

This was also the first time in a long time that Su Shi finally gained the upper hand over Xiangzi.

Xiangzi's expression quickly turned cold. She stared at Su Shi sharply and said coldly, "I will remind Xiao Mu and will not let her be used by you. You'd better take care of yourself."

After saying this, Xiangzi left with a cold face.

Watching Xiangzi's leaving, the smile on Su Shi's face quickly faded away and turned into loss.
